Do you value what we do here? As we've explained, we're looking to raise money to continue bringing this site to you, and we need your help.

Worldchanging is a lot of work. The site itself is a ton of work: between all of us, we probably scan over 1,000 sites and feeds to bring you the best, most important tools, models and ideas for building a better future. We also make a point, as you know, of always providing critical context and useful original content. We'd like to do even more: more interviews, more essays, more book reviews, more conference reports. All of this is time-intensive work.

We're also broadening our scope, and presenting worldchanging information in new ways. We just sent off the manuscript of our book. We'd like to create a more international conversation around technology, sustainability, development and social change. We're planning a series of live events over the next year, chances for our readers and allies to get together and get to know one another. All of this costs money to do.

So far, readers have donated over $18,000. That's awesome. But if we can get to $50,000 in reader support, we will be given another $100,000 in matching grants. That amount of funding will be fundamental to letting us continue making WorldChanging better and better.

We need your help. Every dollar you give will become, in the end, three dollars -- and every dollar we raise will translate directly into making sure we can continue to bring you the work we do. It doesn't even need to be a large donation -- although if you donate more than $500, we will send you a signed advance copy of our book in appreciation, and note your gift in the acknowledgements -- even ten or twenty dollars brings us closer to our goal.
